At this sad time, as we approach Remembrance Day, there is a new fire burning in the world. This poem is about the terrible turmoil that is boiling up currently. It is my wish for peace and stability as soon as can be arranged.
Time to remember
The wars gone by.
To buy a poppy
Ask ‘Why did they all die?’
Time for reflection,
About the world we are in.
That we can stay caring,
So no wars can begin.
But sadly, as we’re hoping
Something tragic has unfurled.
An anger that is tearing
At the middle of our world.
Discomfort and despair
have reared their ugly heads
With people from two places
Removed from their beds.
While I wish
Our nations’ politicians
Would call for peace
And not supply munitions….
I can see
A growing trouble
We need to stop this
On the double.
Final Thoughts
I am a strong believer in dealing with things by talking about them. My poem reflects my wish for peace in the world. Thank you for reading my Terrible Turmoil poem. I would appreciate your thoughts.
For something different to read, perhaps take a look at my Creme Brûlée post.
The turmoil in our world these days os distressing, Jamie. What’s happening in the middle east is tragic. When my daughter was little, she asked Santa for world peace one year. A few weeks after Christmas, we had the news on and she said, “This doesn’t look like world peace.” Sadly, I don’t think we’ll ever get there.
It is not likely. But we can wish and cross fingers.
Great poem, Jamie. I do feel that fewer people are being taught to properly handle and talk about their emotions.
A good point.
I agree with you that there is so much turmoil in the world right now. I often wonder if we will ever learn from history or will the world continue to make the same mistakes over and over again?
I really wish they would find a peaceful option.
